Im not new to traxxas stuff ive wanted a mini summit for a while now. Everything is more expensive is aus what you might pay 300 for in the us it would cost 500 or more for in aus this applies to almoat everything i refer to it as the austtalia tax and ordering online isnt much better due to the exchange rate and shipping costs massdrop seem to be the only place i can get stuff from that prices are reasonable sometimes. The slash they had was significantly cheaper than i could find it anywhere here.
